Mostly I've had wonderful experiences with IBM and Seagate drives -
especially for large scale boxen...WD's for everything/everyone
else...my ST's are happy campers and run 24x7x365.25 - rarely ever
powered down. Heat problems - especially due to poor case design have
been fixed by cutting a 6" diameter hole in the SIDE of the casing and
bolting a 240v, 400 cubic meter per hour fan in the side (who says I
don't mod my cases?) - keeping everything inside at a nice 21c (and the
CPU at a nice 33c).

"Hi, I'm Preston A. Mantis, president of Consumers Retail Law Outlet. As you
can see by my suit and the fact that I have all these books of equal height
on the shelves behind me, I am a trained legal attorney. Do you have a car
or a job? Do you ever walk around? If so, you probably have the makings of
an excellent legal case. Although of course every case is different, I
would definitely say that based on my experience and training, there's no
reason why you shouldn't come out of this thing with at least a cabin
cruiser.
